Cheesy Spanish Baked Eggs is a simple variation on the traditional Spanish dish. This vegetarian recipe is packed with flavours and so quick to cook. The ease of this dish is that everything goes into a single pan and then in the oven it goes. If you don’t have an oven proof pan then a large dish is ideal. While the original doesn’t use cheese, but it add a new texture and goes so well with the tomatoes.
